The distilled melancholy happiness of a mother learning courage from a isolated, sheltered daughter who had no choice in being brave and fleeing the nest into a world she was not prepared for. She could do nothing but greet her daughter with the same courage. This makes her the greatest cleric. She doesn’t need spells to heal. Her very presence is a balm. This is beautiful and I love it. Thank you for giving it to the world.
I've watched this several times now and it's just so lovely. I struggle with agoraphobia, like The Ruby, and the scenes of Jester stepping into the light to join the world and have adventures... along with the scene of her mother doing the same at the end... absolutely shattered. I cried, that was beautiful. I love that nobody pushes her or punishes her, they all respect her. She took that step out the door on her own.
God fucking same. When I got to catch up and watch that scene, Matt nailed it. The anxious feelings of stepping out the door. I loved it, I love that she isn't depicted like she's crazy? So many times in media agoraphobics are considered 'eccentric' spinsters or widows. The Ruby is anything but that. She's a mom that raised her daughter weel, she's sexy, she's wealthy and powerful. I hope we get to see more of her. This Animatic hit me right in teh feels.
@@BrennaDraws It was lovely to see. I cried when I watched it in the episode; Laura/Jester's surprise at her mother's sudden courage, and Marion's nervous determination to cross this one threshold as a mirror to the courage she has witnessed her daughter embody. It was one of my favourite moments in the campaign so far, all the more loved because it was so quiet and unspectacular.
I never thought about how much and how quickly Jester has matured throughout c2. She's so positive and bubbly that I never considered how scared and alone she must have felt leaving the chateau for what what might have been the first time, suddenly thrust into a world that is so much bigger and more dangerous than what she knew. I'm glad she found Fjord shortly afterwards, I like to think that he started keeping his promise to Marion before it was ever made
I’M NOT CRYING YOU ARE!!!! SHUT UP! Can I just say how happy this makes me? You start off with Jester having the strength to leave home and explore the world, and end with Marion fighting her agoraphobia to say goodbye to her little girl!!!!! AGHHH MY HEART
OH NO OH NO MY HEART!!! The direct parallels between the drawings and the scenes and then the very end showing the drawing of jester and her mom again oh my god that broke my heart hhhhh!!!!
This song became such an important song to me because of this video. That realisation that The Ruby was agoraphobic and it was portrayed in the series tastfully. Then this video and song combination. So much so that I almost burst into tears when I heard it on the radio once. I have agoraphobia and rarely go out along, that time it came on the radio was one of the few times I was out by self. Took alot not to cry happy tears.
*claps hands between each word* oh my GOD i have been WAITING FOR THIS BEAUTY FOR SO LONG and BOY IS IT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING IM CRYING A LITTLE BIT. dont even get me started on how many HECKING FLATS there are here you know what i know exactly how it feels im so proud of you this is AMAZING. the floaty way all the stills are constantly moving fit PERFECTLY with the music and the little bits of animation with key frames were 👌👌👌 ah may ZING. GORGEOUS. ICONIC. the subtle shifts in facial expression and body language are so indicative of marion and jesters love for each other and hhhhhh i can FEEL the motherly embrace. this gave me so many warm feelings and thats mostly due to the brilliantly constructed narrative and that underlying feeling of jester's coming of age story and thats So. Good. so well done. im running out of positive adjective but its all of them trust me. when the music picks up and the visuals also get faster love the pacing so much it works SO WELL. i love this i cant even BEGIN to describe it.
I'm crying at this comment, oh my gosh. Thank you so much! I really wanted to do their relationship justice, they're both such amazing characters. ;_;/
It's crazy how a group of characters can shape us, and I will admit, Cad and Jester have shaped me more than real people in my life. Their outlooks and ideals are something that just rings so true within me. I could never of predicted the way these two clerics changed me, just as their players have. This video is beautiful and just reminds me of it everytime I see it. Thank you for this gift of a video
!!! This is so great! From Jester’s childhood drawings, to having to flee her hometown, to leaving again with her friends, the whole animatic hikghkighting the mother daughter relationship! I love it!
THIS IS SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO GOOD has laura seen this???? SHE NEEDS TO SEE THIS holy shit oh man you did such a good job! it's so expressive and moving and the visual language is amazing. you picked just the right moments at the just the right time. really amazingly well done! i hope laura sees this! serriously, the cast would LOVE this so much.
1:54 just really makes me cry. I have really bad social anxiety and I'm so used to being alone that I don't realize how great it is to step out and be with people I love and who I'm comfortable around. I just really relate to Jester, and a lot of the time I feel like i'm a child and everyone has passed me by. This is just very emotional and beautiful and I love it. And I love this song by Billie. I try to remember that it's worth it
That's my favorite part! I love how Jester has found a group of people who love her so much and are helping her grow into an even more amazing person (honestly the whole sequence where she has moments with each M9 member was my favorite to draw and animate). It's hard to get out there, but it's definitely worth it.
@@jaycer4338 Yes, beautifully said! And the snapshots of her journey and the moments with her friends really are so powerful. I love the scenes you chose. The jellyfish one always resonated with me because of what Jester said: "Sometimes the things that are the most beautiful are the things that can hurt the most."
When that first big “come out and play” dropped and it was her with the M9 I had to pause it I was crying so hard haha. This was beautiful. I really felt the love and care.
This randomly popped back up on my fyp and it’s crazy it’s already 5 years old. I remember watching this when it just came out and bawling my eyes out 😭 I love it sm
uh ok well i didn’t plan on crying today but i teared up halfway through this and by the end i was a mess, this is so so beautifully done and i absolutely love that you flipped the script at the end - marion, who was always jester’s teacher and caretaker and this figure of strength and authority in her life, learns from jester instead. she sees how much she’s grown and learned on her journey and overcomes her own fears to continue to be with her daughter even if only for a moment and i’m crying again thanks
Totally exactly what I was going for! I love how excited Jester is in the show to tell her mom about all the exciting things she's done with the M9 (after Marion has told her how scary the world is). Thank you for watching and commenting
This animatic was what convinced me to get into critical role about a year ago or so. thank you so much, and I really admire the love you put into this!!!thank you for introducing me to CR
This is SUCH a beautiful video!! I teared up when I saw The Traveler saving Jester! And it continue the rest of the video! This is amazing and I love it!! Please make more videos like this!!!!!!
I have to say I watched this maybe a month or two after you first posted. I come back to it every now and again and I must end up clicking on it once or twice a month. Its one of the most beautiful CR related pieces of art I've seen. So i guess I wanted to say thank you! For creating something so beautiful and sharing it with us all!
this actually gives me an idea for decoration.. if I ever have a family, I want to set up the lower half of the hallway walls for the kids to draw pictures on
So beautiful. Both my mom and I are Critters and the relationship between Jester and her mother and the whole theme of learning to let your grown children go and have their own adventures is one that deeply speaks to both of us at the moment (I am about to move across the country from her). This video captures all of our bittersweet feelings on the subject and how we’ve felt watching Jess and her mom interact in the series so incredibly beautifully. Thank you ❤️ And many thanks sent through the magic of the internet to Laura and Matt for making that part of the story so impactful and real 😊❤️ beautiful work done by all 👏🏻
Jayce R Thanks for replying! It’s truly a beautiful song and a beautiful animated work, and good luck with your move! It’s a bit difficult for the first two weeks or so, but it gets easier and this song just captures all the emotions so completely. ❤️❤️ well done again 😊👏🏻
this beautiful piece of art honestly just reminded me of how much crit role helped me out through my tough times and just made me cry my eyeballs out at the beautiful story. it’s gorgeous my dear, and i love it so much. thank you for putting this out into the worldz
God, I've watched this a hundred times, and I'm still impressed by how official your jester beau and caleb look in particular. I could totally see those designs in an avatar style tv show. I can picture them moving and everything
The current campaign, I’m playing as a pirate taken in by a tiefgling warrior woman who looks a lot like the Ruby of the sea. This hit too dang hard for me.
That was incredibly lovely, and so very very sweet. You don’t always see fanart that focus’s on Jester’s past, and this is a very beautiful depiction of it. Well done!!
Y'know I remember seeing the WIP of this on tumblr a while back and not gonna lie, I teared up. But watching this in it's entirety...I'm bawling. Especially when Marion stepped out to say goodbye to Jester. My tears may have also increased every time there was a shot of Jester and one of the M9. Thank you for making this, even if I can barely see through my tears now
At every turn in the song you chose a unique beat to strum. It's breathtaking. It's breathtaking and it has redefined this part of Jester's playlist for me *even though I knew it would be about Mayrene's agorophobia but every step towards there was clever and opening image, closing image. It's the best tool in writing for video.
I've been watching this every few episodes of the show and as I learn more and more about Jester it makes me feel more and more. And I just got to the scene that this animatic ends on and ahhh. Like I literally just cried while rewatching it again. This is my favorite CR animatic ever and it makes me feel so many things and I thank you so much for making it.
I’M NOT CRYING, YOU’RE CRYING. In all seriousness, though, this is incredible. It’s so beautiful, and it just touched my heart in ways I hadn’t realized something like this could. Someone needs to Tweet this to Laura STAT.
This was amazing, beautiful, wonderful, all the good things :') Thank you for making this! I loved the last bit especially, both the bits of Jester with all of the M9s, and then the last bit where Marion came along. Its so nice :)
I just keep rewatching this. It’s so beautiful. I also didn’t realize that the little panels she drew are basically what happens in her adventures with the Mighty Nein. BRB, gotta cry
This made me so happy and yet I’m sitting here crying. It’s so so so beautifully done and I think I’m going to single-handedly contribute a thousand views. IM STILL CRYING THIS IS TOO PERFECT THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
Wow. Just wow. The animation is truly amazing, and it works so well with that song, you did a really good job! Thank you so much for sharing it with us, it made me very emotional and made me love these two even more
OH MAN THIS IS SO GOOD!!!! all of it is so well-done (the drawings!! the individual scenes with jester & the nein!!) but i have to say i LOVE the two color/lighting shifts with respectively jester & marion stepping out of the dark 😭💖
I've watched this almost daily and cry every time. I have so many complex feelings for Marion and Jester, I can relate so much to them. This is just incredible.
This animation is very well put together, seamlessly demonstrating a story through art mixed in well with the music. The pacing was great, and felt very smooth. The light was well done, getting darker until the release of Jester joining the group right on queue of the music.
It is January 4, 2022 and the story of The Mighty Nein and Jester Lavorre have closed with their story lines wrapped up. But watching this video brought tears to my eyes and I cried tears of joy as I remembered their adventures. Excellent pairing of the music of Billie Ellish and your beautiful cinematic scenes. Thank you from my heart.
Watching this after catching up and getting context is 1000× better. The art and music has always been great, but now it just has so much more of an emotional umph to it.
I JUST REALIZED THAT HER DRAWINGS WERE WHAT HAPPENED IN THE SERIES, A CIRCUS TENT, THE SHIP, THE BEES, THE DRAGON
WOAH IM JUST NOTICING THIS
HELLO BEES!
I LOVE IT SO MUCH
"Pirate Jester" as well
This is the longest incantation for "create water" I have ever heard. Anyone else failed their Con saving throw against this?
Raphael Johnson Pretty sure it’s wis, mate.
Barely hit the DC very close to a fail
I roles a nat one, water all over my face 😭😭
Does any have controle water?, I'm crying a river over here
How do you plan to beat a dc 100 con save???

Not that she even uses her spells to heal in the first place, but yeah
Even more relevant now that Marion has actually left the chateau with Jester's encouragement.
this animation goes on the same shelf as "all my friends"
Such a high compliment! I love Elm's animatic sooo much. Thank you!
It’s accurate
oOF
Mood
Don’t make me cry harder!

I cried, that was beautiful. I love that nobody pushes her or punishes her, they all respect her. She took that step out the door on her own.
Thank you! I love that Marion has been able to move at her own pace. It's really heartwarming to see her get strength from Jester. :')
God fucking same.
When I got to catch up and watch that scene, Matt nailed it. The anxious feelings of stepping out the door. I loved it, I love that she isn't depicted like she's crazy? So many times in media agoraphobics are considered 'eccentric' spinsters or widows.
The Ruby is anything but that. She's a mom that raised her daughter weel, she's sexy, she's wealthy and powerful. I hope we get to see more of her.
This Animatic hit me right in teh feels.
@@BrennaDraws It was lovely to see.

Im sure you will take your steps on your own too 😊
Is it bad that I wanted the Mighty Nein to ask Jester about her mamá's caution going outdoors. I'm sure they probably already had a hint.
Has anyone tweeted this to Laura yet? I bet she'd love this!!
That would be awesome to have her reaction.
So has anyone?
Tweeted to The Bailey!
The little detail of making Jester left-handed like Laura is so so so perfect, man I'm literally crying at how good this is
Oh my god
I didn't even notice
Although she is wearing her shield on her left arm when the Traveler gives her just a little help against the Dragon in The Happy Fun Ball™.
I never thought about how much and how quickly Jester has matured throughout c2. She's so positive and bubbly that I never considered how scared and alone she must have felt leaving the chateau for what what might have been the first time, suddenly thrust into a world that is so much bigger and more dangerous than what she knew.

I cant be the only one that mistook her black lipstick for a mustache and black nails for a small beard from just looking at the tumbnail.
I did and thought "meh, she's a teifling. dwarf women have beards too."
No you were not.
Yes, that's exactly what I did.
Oop-
Oh thank god I'm not the only one
-cries in infernal-
-wails in abyssal-
- weeps in underdark -
-bawls in celestial-
--Whimpers in under common--
-sobs in deep speech-
Please tell me I'm not the only one that cried..
I cried a bunch while drawing it. You're not alone, I promise haha
@@jaycer4338 That's so cute omg. Thank you so much for creating this ❤️❤️ it's beautiful.
Bawled
No no... Still wiping my eyes over this.
I cried.
I’M NOT CRYING YOU ARE!!!! SHUT UP!
Can I just say how happy this makes me? You start off with Jester having the strength to leave home and explore the world, and end with Marion fighting her agoraphobia to say goodbye to her little girl!!!!! AGHHH MY HEART
Thank you! And that's exactly the story i was trying to tell! I love these two so much
OH NO OH NO MY HEART!!!
The direct parallels between the drawings and the scenes and then the very end showing the drawing of jester and her mom again oh my god that broke my heart hhhhh!!!!
My favorite thing to do was trying to figure out what poses I could repeat and make a motif out of. :') Thank you
This song became such an important song to me because of this video. That realisation that The Ruby was agoraphobic and it was portrayed in the series tastfully. Then this video and song combination.

I'm crying at this comment, oh my gosh. Thank you so much! I really wanted to do their relationship justice, they're both such amazing characters. ;_;/
Great comment but y did u make me mentally clap all the claps
I loved both of your critical role music
I did clap at each single word, and I have to say, that took some time X3.
It's crazy how a group of characters can shape us, and I will admit, Cad and Jester have shaped me more than real people in my life.

Thank you! I can't wait for her actual arc - like she's already got me messed up NOW. I dunno what to expect for Travelercon.
My gods, this was just so sweet and pure. Loved it
THIS IS SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO GOOD
has laura seen this???? SHE NEEDS TO SEE THIS holy shit
oh man you did such a good job! it's so expressive and moving and the visual language is amazing. you picked just the right moments at the just the right time. really amazingly well done! i hope laura sees this! serriously, the cast would LOVE this so much.
Thank you! Timing is my favorite part to do, and I just LOVE Jester. I can't wait for Travelercon when she's front and center!
@@jaycer4338 Jester is like my #1 favorite character, because she is a hilarious prankster.
And I can't wait for her full story arch
sweat dad story arch will be interesting
This shook me to my core. Thank you. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this.

BEAUTIFUL GOOD YES THANK YOU NOMINATED FOR ALL OF THE AWARDS YES VERY GOOD NICE AND BEAUTIFUL YES GOOD
This randomly popped back up on my fyp and it’s crazy it’s already 5 years old. I remember watching this when it just came out and bawling my eyes out 😭
I love it sm
Marion's mouth in the thumbail looks like a mustache...and now I can't unsee it..
(Amazing video, nonetheless though!! The animation is flawless!)
uh ok well i didn’t plan on crying today but i teared up halfway through this and by the end i was a mess, this is so so beautifully done and i absolutely love that you flipped the script at the end - marion, who was always jester’s teacher and caretaker and this figure of strength and authority in her life, learns from jester instead. she sees how much she’s grown and learned on her journey and overcomes her own fears to continue to be with her daughter even if only for a moment and i’m crying again thanks

This animatic was what convinced me to get into critical role about a year ago or so. thank you so much, and I really admire the love you put into this!!!thank you for introducing me to CR
I love that Jester's childhood is a big part of her story and that fans draw it so well
This is SUCH a beautiful video!! I teared up when I saw The Traveler saving Jester! And it continue the rest of the video! This is amazing and I love it!! Please make more videos like this!!!!!!
Beautiful work! The change at 1:56 is really powerful. Also the way you showed the tenderness between Marion and Jester is great!
I think this is the first time I have seen the Blue Dragon scene animated where the traveler moved Jesters shield in her moment of need
For me, this captures Jester's struggle so accurately. Thank you for making this. It's beautiful.
alskfjasf this was A LOT! thank you so much. this is beautiful!
This is still my favorite critical role animatic ever
the way both jester and her mother look up to each other makes me happy and i can't explain why
And I'm bawling. Full on tears
Same
I have to say I watched this maybe a month or two after you first posted. I come back to it every now and again and I must end up clicking on it once or twice a month.

Jayce R Thanks for replying! It’s truly a beautiful song and a beautiful animated work, and good luck with your move! It’s a bit difficult for the first two weeks or so, but it gets easier and this song just captures all the emotions so completely. ❤️❤️ well done again 😊👏🏻
this beautiful piece of art honestly just reminded me of how much crit role helped me out through my tough times and just made me cry my eyeballs out at the beautiful story. it’s gorgeous my dear, and i love it so much. thank you for putting this out into the worldz
God, I've watched this a hundred times, and I'm still impressed by how official your jester beau and caleb look in particular. I could totally see those designs in an avatar style tv show. I can picture them moving and everything
I'm not crying, I just caught something in my eyes. I'm talking about tears: I caught tears
absolutely stunning art and visuals. a beautiful and deeply moving tribute to a truly incredible character. thank you so much
The current campaign, I’m playing as a pirate taken in by a tiefgling warrior woman who looks a lot like the Ruby of the sea. This hit too dang hard for me.
This randomly came on my tv and I was in tears the whole time. I love this so much. Thank you for taking the time to make this
Omf the thing that got me was the comparison of the bees drawing and the “hello bees!” scene with caduceus. Now I’m crying and I love this so much
That was incredibly lovely, and so very very sweet. You don’t always see fanart that focus’s on Jester’s past, and this is a very beautiful depiction of it. Well done!!
you have no business making me cry in the morning like this! (It's absolutely beautiful)
I have been listening to this for almost weeks and I still love it
Y'know I remember seeing the WIP of this on tumblr a while back and not gonna lie, I teared up. But watching this in it's entirety...I'm bawling. Especially when Marion stepped out to say goodbye to Jester. My tears may have also increased every time there was a shot of Jester and one of the M9.

Thanks for watching the final piece! It was so fun to work on.
this is SO GORGEOUS and the movement is so dynamic i'm absolutely in love
Oh I cried, you got me at the end there. I was fine until the very last second. Now the tears they are a flowin.
This made me cry I love it SO much it’s so beautiful thank you so much for sharing it with us!! It’s so well done too!!!
I wasmt sure if it was on purpose but did you make the stranger look like matt mercer? Cause thats what he looked like
I didn't purposely try to make him look like Matt Mercer, it just kinda happened and I never made an effort to change it!
@@jaycer4338 well just so you know, you did an amazing job the song fits perfectly and i almost cried, so thanks for that and have a good one
You mean the Traveller.
@@patricklyons794yah thats the guy!

It's the best tool in writing for video.
This is just incredible. Every part of it was so powerful, sweet, and perfect.
I've been watching this every few episodes of the show and as I learn more and more about Jester it makes me feel more and more. And I just got to the scene that this animatic ends on and ahhh. Like I literally just cried while rewatching it again. This is my favorite CR animatic ever and it makes me feel so many things and I thank you so much for making it.
This was beautiful, I couldn't help but cry. Thank you so much for creating this.
Oh man I just watched and it made me fucking cry this is AMAZING
Thank you so much for making this It's beautiful and so moving
Thank you for commenting! I loved working on this so much. The Lavorres are such a great family.
Oh my god I'm actually crying... this is so wonderfully done!!!!!! Have to watch it 80 more times now
oh gosh, this is so masterfully done and I am crying! thank you. I hadnt realized how wonderful this song is for jester until seeing it this way
I’M NOT CRYING, YOU’RE CRYING.
In all seriousness, though, this is incredible. It’s so beautiful, and it just touched my heart in ways I hadn’t realized something like this could. Someone needs to Tweet this to Laura STAT.
This was amazing, beautiful, wonderful, all the good things :') Thank you for making this! I loved the last bit especially, both the bits of Jester with all of the M9s, and then the last bit where Marion came along. Its so nice :)
I just keep rewatching this. It’s so beautiful. I also didn’t realize that the little panels she drew are basically what happens in her adventures with the Mighty Nein. BRB, gotta cry
I keep coming back to this. Just wanted to say thanks for making it, it's good stuff.
Oh my gosh, the art in this (especially the backgrounds) is incredible!!! I can’t stop watching it.
Thank you! I really wanted to push myself and do them since I usually try to get away without doing them!
This actually made me cry. How could you, you amazing animator artist person!
This made me so happy and yet I’m sitting here crying. It’s so so so beautifully done and I think I’m going to single-handedly contribute a thousand views. IM STILL CRYING THIS IS TOO PERFECT THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
this is absolutely gorgeous and heartwarming. incredible work. i hope we get to see more of it soon!
Wow. Just wow. The animation is truly amazing, and it works so well with that song, you did a really good job! Thank you so much for sharing it with us, it made me very emotional and made me love these two even more
I just love this AMV sooo much and just have to watch it every other day! Thank You!
This is what made me start watching CR so THANK YOU
Oh that makes me so happy you started watching CR!!!
this was literally so beautiful
i loved it so much
with the role reversal at the end
amazing
This is so beautiful. You did an amazing job at capturing Jester’s story!
OH MAN THIS IS SO GOOD!!!! all of it is so well-done (the drawings!! the individual scenes with jester & the nein!!) but i have to say i LOVE the two color/lighting shifts with respectively jester & marion stepping out of the dark 😭💖
Thank you! I'm excited to see how much more these 2 characters grow with all the new experiences bound to happen. ;v;
absolutely adore and love this animation! pulled at my heart strings and made me smile. I love how great the Critter Community is!
Dang it you did it you turned on the water works that was beautiful TvT
I've watched this almost daily and cry every time. I have so many complex feelings for Marion and Jester, I can relate so much to them. This is just incredible.
Thank you
This animation is very well put together, seamlessly demonstrating a story through art mixed in well with the music. The pacing was great, and felt very smooth. The light was well done, getting darker until the release of Jester joining the group right on queue of the music.
I’m not crying it’s just raining inside. This is so beautiful. Great work!
Yep, definitely teared up a bit. Phenomenal work! I can only imagine how long this labor of love took.
Well this is the cutest thing I’ve seen! The song was just perfect for the atmosphere and Jester and her mother were just adorable. Love it!
Beautiful!! 🙌🙏🙌🙏🙌🙏 loved the song choice!! Fantastic animation. Great art style! Subscribing immediately. ❤
This is so beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for creating such a gorgeous animation.
This is one of the best yet. Well don Jace! Well done!

Thank you so much
This is how I want to start the decade
this gave me more feelings than I first thought and now I'm crying because this is absolutely amazing and beautiful
It is January 4, 2022 and the story of The Mighty Nein and Jester Lavorre have closed with their story lines wrapped up. But watching this video brought tears to my eyes and I cried tears of joy as I remembered their adventures. Excellent pairing of the music of Billie Ellish and your beautiful cinematic scenes. Thank you from my heart.
Watching this after catching up and getting context is 1000× better. The art and music has always been great, but now it just has so much more of an emotional umph to it.
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL T_T Love it, cried, the music and images were so wonderful. I could really feel the love between Jester and Marion
Wow! Goosebumps and in tears over this. Absolutely love it. Thank you for this.
This gave me chills, it's so beautiful. Thank you for making this :')
